 WHAT IS SCANNING?

Scanning a text means looking through it quickly to find specific information.

Scanning is commonly used in everyday life, for example when looking for
finding your friend’s name in the contacts directory of your phone.

HOW TO SCAN THE TEXT

Before you start scanning for information, you should try to understand how the
text is arranged. This will help you to locate the information more quickly. For
example, when scanning for a word in a dictionary or a friend's name in your
contact list, you already know that the information is arranged alphabetically.
This means you can go more quickly to the part you want, without having to look
through everything.
 PREDICTING

According to Duffy (2003)

Predicting is the strategy most relied upon as we begin reading. Good readers
anticipate meaning. They do this by predicting what they think is going to happen
in the selection and by revising their predictions as they read.

Grellet (1996)

Who defines prediction as the faculty of predicting or guessing what is to come

next, making use grammatical, lexical and cultural clue.
The benefit of this technique:

Can prepare your mind to absorb, interpret, check, and confirm information.
Making predictions is a strategy in which readers use information from a text
(including titles, headings, pictures, and diagrams) and their own personal
experiences to anticipate what they are about to read (or what comes next). A
reader involved in making predictions is focused on the text at hand, constantly
thinking ahead and also refining, revising, and verifying his or her predictions.
This strategy also helps students make connections between their prior knowledge
and the text.
 PREVIEWING

Previewing is a pre-reading skill by which the reader tries to gather as much

information about the text as he/she can before reading it.

Grellet (1996)

Defines that previewing is a very quick reading technique to find out some
information about a text.

This technique involves using the title of a text, the table of contents, the index,
the appendix, the preface of the author of publisher, headings or subtitles of
chapters and paragraphs, information on the back cover, acknowledgement, and
so on.
